Probably going to aim at doing the upgrade on Friday evening (6 October). Everyone tends to be more active at the weekend, so it would be good if we've updated before that. I can't find any negative comments about the next issue on the interweb at the moment, but will keep my eyes open. Should be down for about 1/2 hour max.

Thanks for that everyone - fingers crossed it stays stable. I'll try to follow this same routine for a while - when there is an upgrade available I'll upgrade the test environment first, wait a couple of weeks, then do the backups and upgrade the main one. It isn't too difficult then. Keep posting everyone - like Ralf says, it's much more fun now there is so much more coming onto the forum again.

I think it's 'cos it's not very good at putting the clocks back in the autumn. I've just gone to my settings - you can all do this for your own, under 'my profile', and told it that daylight saving is 'off' - instead of automatic. It now seems to have got the time right. For a few months!

Something weird has happened to some of our little photos hasn't it - the ones in our profile blocks next to the posts. I'll have a look at that in the next couple of days.

Update: It's the administrator and moderator links.
Update 2: It's Photobucket! Just trying to rescue the situation.
Update 3: Have saved all the other 'ranks', just administrator and moderator to fix. Working on it. Hopefully J-O has all the files squirreled away somewhere.
Update 4: Hmmm - it seems that these only get updated when we run the 'update ranks' function. I don't dare do that in case it demotes all of you lovely people to ranks that aren't appropriate. I'll think about that. You're going to have to put up with horrible Photobucket links under posts from J-O and me for a while - and it's perfectly possible that we'll lose the links to all the other ranks at some stage.

Final update tonight: The update ranks runs OK on the test site, so I intend to run that again when we do the software upgrade either this weekend or next.

Agree with Ralf, and I'm a Flickr-guy now.
The pictures I've uploaded to Photobucket are not lost, I only have to find the picture I want, click 'Save as' to my pc and then upload it to Flickr and use it on CVF, if I want to.
A real detour, yes, but in this way I can reload a picture if someone ask for a particular one.

OK, so we're upgraded to vBulletin 5.3.4. I hope nothing has stopped working, it seems to be all right from the checks I have carried out so far, but no doubt we'll find something that no-one else has ever thought of! Had slight issues with Safari on first post, but cleared caches and all was well. Fingers crossed.

During my first session everything went well. I will continue my Ireland trip report this week, then i will be into more details. I will report, if there will occur some strange things. But up to now - erverything okay and really quick. My compliments!!

Our Mark comes up trumps once more. I've come to realise that it doesn't really matter all that much if vBulletin plays up, for he will be on to it in a flash and sort it out again, and again, and again. Thanks, Mark.
